Yong Liu, head of CISDI’s overseas business department

We are ready to create a brighter future for global clients

 “CISDI was in the limelight at METEC; I was delighted to meet almost all of the steel industry’s global major clients and everyone visiting our exhibition stand wanted to hear about our technology, project and financing services.

CISDI is really making its presence felt on the international metallurgical stage - 40 of the world’s 50 top steel enterprises have been our clients.

I believe they choose CISDI not only for the corporate brand and its expertise, but also as a sign they are welcoming of China’s policy of opening wider to the world.

As we go deeper into global steel markets, we have set up overseas operations in many of the world’s steel hotspots. We are exploring business opportunities along the route of the Belt and Road Initiative in Asia and in Europe and America.

Our leading blast furnace expertise has won us bids for benchmark projects such as TATA Steel’s 5,870m³ blast furnace and ArcelorMittal’s 5,000m³-level blast furnace.

We have extended our service mode from engineering to operations management and investment-construction-operation services and have brought about remarkable results at Formosa Ha Tinh Steel, ASSB Kuantan and GUNUNG Steel.

Our brand and our technology are getting more and more recognition from the global markets. Our core equipment supplies to TATA UK, Oyak Turkey and Gerdau Acomonias Brazil have been highly praised and we continue to consolidate partnerships and co-operation with Hatch, Mitsubishi and NSENGI.

Keeping up with research and following the market and the needs of clients is key to our success. 

We will be making full use of China’s national toolkit policies to develop our involvement in the international co-operation of production capacity, meeting the needs of BRI-route infrastructure construction and economic development. But in addition, CISDI UK will be our bridge to business opportunities for steel upgrades and green, intelligent manufacturing in developed countries.

We have green technology solutions for sewage treatment, conversion of solid waste to energy and zero liquid discharge. Our intelligent manufacturing solutions improve productivity and reduce labour costs. Our unique consulting expertise creates systematic solutions.

For future overseas business, the focus will remain fixed on the BRI route and developed countries, but we will also be paying attention to the African market.

Our overseas offices will be recruiting from their local labour forces, we will be strengthening our communications with clients and partner and capitalising on global resources to provide a diverse range of optimised solutions to clients.
